Strategy
Hi coach,
Sorry, wont ask another question ( unless really important) for 1 week.
So how do you prevent someone from attacking you after you serve.
I played this comp, i used a very low and short serve but my opponent just did the thing which you called mini topspin- topspin before the white line. I get distracted and he hits to my corner and i lose,
I like people pushing is back to me cuz then i can loop or do the push.
Pls give me advice

Hi Mat,
Working on your serves will make this better. Perhaps you weren't generating enough spin on your serves to sop them from attacking. If you can get enough backspin on the ball and keep the ball low it will be very difficult for your opponent to attack the serve.
Ideally if you serve short backspin you will get a backspin return back which you feel comfortable with.

A chopper likes to get back from the table and get into a nice rhythm. If you keep the defender close to the table in the early part of the rally, it's hard for them to transition back into their chopping position. So keep the ball short on your serve and try and catch them unprepared. Watch the video to find out more great tactics to use against a defensive chopper.
